Welcome to the Kafka Architecture and Internals course!
The course offers an in-depth exploration of Apache Kafka's core architecture, components, and underlying principles.
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Kafka's internal mechanics and architectural paradigms. While introductory Kafka courses cover basic concepts and setup, this advanced course delves into the intricacies and optimizations essential for leveraging Kafka in high-throughput, scalable, and resilient real-world applications.
This course requires a basic understanding of Kafka architecture, components, and terminology and Java/Scala programming.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Analyze Kafka internals and operations.
- Implement performance-tuning strategies.
- Configure reliable producer and consumer settings.
- Understand Kafka cluster architecture.
- Implement and configure MirrorMaker.
- Perform Kafka administration.
- Implement dynamic configuration changes.
This course contains engaging videos, hands-on demonstrations, readings, and assessments to ensure a comprehensive understanding of Apache Kafka.
